“For $1000 I will ensure you live as long as you want and die in the manner of your choosing.”
After you’ve helped a couple of terminal cancer patients cheat death for a few years, word will spread.
At fifteen seconds I could comfortably do one a minute for an hour or so a day and rake in $60k.
I'm confused. It doesn't say you would prolong someone's life if you fail to touch them for the duration of 15 seconds. If someone is already set to die without you touching them, why is it that you touching them would save them?
OP is saying that they would probably initially find takers in the form of terminal patients seeking euthanasia. But since the question asker stated that you can choose the timing and cause of death, then it follows that you can cause anyone to live as long as (naturally) possible. Once word got out, you could make a killing guaranteeing long lives.
It said they were helping cheat death for a few years, so not a euthanasia take
@cattywampas@midwest.social is correct, though, uffering the euthenasia service is an even better option to bring peace to those who seek it while getting the word out that I have this ability.
